Carlos, all, Is Alien ready for real use? I am getting closer to being able to produce a Pharo version of my GSL wrapper and was today reminded of the fairly extensive use of callbacks in the library - that makes sense, because much of it is algorithms that need to accept user-provided code.
My reading suggess that Alien is the way to go. Is it?
